Cherry Earl Grey Milk Tea

Let’s explore why Cherry Earl Grey Milk Tea has become a beloved choice among tea drinkers, how it originated, and how you can make it at home to savor every luxurious sip.

Ingredients

  • 2 Earl Grey tea bags (or 2 teaspoons loose leaf Earl Grey)

  • 1 cup hot water

  • 1/2 cup cherries (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (adjust to taste)

  • 1/2 cup milk or dairy-free milk (like oat or almond)

  • Ice cubes

  • Optional: cherry syrup or cherry popping boba for extra flavor and fun

Instructions

  1. Brew the Tea: Steep the Earl Grey tea in 1 cup of hot water for 4–5 minutes. Remove the tea bags or strain the leaves.

  2. Prepare the Cherry Base: In a small saucepan, heat the cherries with honey or sugar over medium heat until they break down and release their juices (about 5 minutes). Mash slightly, then strain to get a smooth syrup or leave chunky if you prefer texture.

  3. Combine: In a glass, add ice cubes, followed by the cherry syrup or cooked cherries. Pour in the brewed tea, then top with milk. Stir gently.

  4. Garnish and Serve: Add boba or cherry pearls if desired, garnish with a cinnamon stick or chocolate straw, and enjoy!

 

Notes

Variations and Tips

  • Iced Latte Style: Blend the milk and cherry syrup for a creamy, smooth texture before adding to the tea.

  • Hot Version: Skip the ice and enjoy warm for a cozy twist.

  • Cherry Juice Shortcut: Use cherry juice concentrate or syrup if fresh cherries aren’t available.

  • Boba Time: Add tapioca pearls or popping boba for a classic milk tea experience.

  • Tea Strength: Brew a stronger tea by using more leaves or a longer steeping time if you prefer bold flavors.
